The Merseyside Derby: Liverpool v Everton LIVE!

Probably Lineups

Roberto Martinez is not known for being defensive so expect a very attacking Everton side looking to take the game to Liverpool. The only main injury concern is that to Seamus Coleman, who has had an amazing campaign scoring five goals from right back. Hibbert will be his replacement.

Liverpool have several concerns as Lucas as well as Joe Allen have been sidelined through injury. They join the already injured Daniel Agger and Jose Enrique on the treatment table and with Gerrard just returning are short of depth in midfield. They however possess the power of Sturridge and Suarez, who currently have 32 goals between them.

Remember this?

Liverpool’s last loss in the Merseyside Derby at Anfield back in 1999.

Fantasy Football Danger Man

Luis Suarez is currently in the form of his life and nobody will back against him to get a couple of goals or assists tonight. A good shout for the captaincy as well.
